Windows Server 2012 has been around for a while (not quite ten years) and it's now becoming officially obsolete.

What's the difference between mainstream support and extended support from Microsoft?

Mark talks us through everything we need to know about the operating system's support options in this episode.

There are different aspects of it that will impact on different businesses, in different ways.

Regardless of the support agreement you have with Microsoft, Mark can talk you through your options. Scroll to find the link to book a chat.

What's going to happen to customer support once the extended support ends?

The burning question.

Will you be left hung out to dry, or will there be options available to you?

Well, Mark seems to think it's something you definitely need to be aware of.

"Well, the most important thing to remember about this is that once it's expired, the product will almost entirely be unprotected by Microsoft.

Microsoft will not release any security, updates and fixes, which means that your 2012 server is a sitting duck effectively."

During this episode of the Techcess technology podcast, Mark explains what we can expect to happen from Microsoft, following their end of life phasing of Windows Server 2012, including:

• What this move will mean for most Windows Server 2012 users
• What you can do if you currently still have Windows Server 2012
• Mark's suggestion for how you can prepare for the changes coming to the Windows Server 2012 software
